Be honest with you... I install mostly debian packages via apt-get, but I install myth via CVS along with a small number of programs from source (and not apt-get). I have used apt-get dist-upgrade with no problems several times, but if it completely breaks your system, I'm not responsible... YMMV Also, I do it the hard way and reinstall myth via CVS all the time. I know, there's other ways of doing it, but I do it and just leave my database in tact and everything is fine.
